CMM then planned to demolish the 4-storey shopping centre and replace it with a new mall which will be six storeys high with 300,000 sq ft of Net Lettable Area (NLA) of purely retail centre.

CMM was confident that the redevelopment will be successful, considering that their Singapore partner has vast experience in retail centres.

Mapletree Investments has over S$6.2 billion (about RM15 billion) worth of assets under their management, including VivoCity, Singapore’s largest retail and lifestyle destinations.

CMM said they will be leveraging on Mapletree’s network of retailers.

However, CMM could not leverage on Mapletree's network of contractors and expert demolition men.

Today, Jaya Supermarket collapse!

One worker was killed and two others hurt when the landmark six-storey Jaya Supermarket in Petaling Jaya collapsed after a demolition exercise went awry. The workers were Indonesians.

At press time, six other workers were still reported missing under the debris. They are assumed to be still alive.

An eyewitness Syed Mohammad Aidid said he heard a loud roar like that of a thunder while driving pass the area.

“The building started collapsing when his car was just next to it! Brownish red dust, like smoke & debris came falling down on the car, flash back of World Trade Centre movie...never be so scared in my life!” he recalled.

“I saw in front of me several cars but they managed to escape. I just floored the accelerator but some of the rubble hit my car and dented it. I was shaken with fear and prayed that I would be out of harm’s way,” he said.

Jaya supermarket complex? At the first place, MPPJ is also "Satu Lagi Project oleh BN", it is illegally extend 2 extra floor to the carpark extension. It is unknown whether this extra has jeopadize the integrity of the main building.

Maverick, this is exactly the story of the Ruling Powers and the Ruling Man. Very soon they will also collapse as they are unable to withstand the sheer weight of all the combined fragments of one single woman........

Out of topic but as a matter of comparison to one of the largest malls in the world...

The Dubai Mall was developed and is operated by Emaar Malls Group, the retail subsidiary of Emaar Properties – a global property developer that also built the Burj Dubai, next door to the Dubai Mall. The Burj Dubai is today the tallest building in the world, standing at an awesome 818 metres high with 162 floors and a retail space of 9 million square feet.

This reeks of money changing hands under table again. If this was done proffesionally by the Sgp partners (assuming), they would have vetted the contractors instead of paying the highest price for the cheapest contractor.

The consultants should be looked into as many a times, the proffesional consultants would have a negotiated tender instead of an open tender. Reeks of past BN culture, isn't it?

Local councils are stil the same people with same mentality even if governments change.
